Villa Briancon was everything its description promised - and more. It has the most magnificent view across to the old town and is extremely well situated, especially if you have a car (or two, as we had).

The owners, Gilles and Isabelle, who live in the apartment below, were extremely welcoming and helpful without being intrusive and we quickly felt very much at home.

The property, which was spotlessly clean when we arrived, is spacious and well laid out and was always warm with plenty of hot water - particularly appreciated after a day's skiing! Everyone in our party (five adults, three teenage boys) agreed the beds were comfortable and plenty of bedding and linen was provided. The kitchen is well equipped, with every appliance and utensil you could need and a large supermarket and shopping centre is just 5 minutes walk down the hill for provisions.

We booked our ski passes and hired equipment from the Briancon ski centre which is just minutes away by car but as it was the New Year week we were advised that it would be less busy to ski from Chantemerle, 3-4 kilometres up the road, and this area was our focus for the week. Providing you arrive reasonably early in the morning you can park close to the gondola station (5 euros a day) or there is a larger parking area (free) on the outskirts, a 5-10 minute walk from the gondola station, depending on how much kit you are carrying! The speedy gondola takes you up to the slopes and there's a good range of runs to choose from as well as plenty of cafes and this ski area kept our party (a mix of beginners to advanced intermediates) happy for the week.

It was a pleasure to return home to Villa Briancon each evening and we have no hesitation in recommending it to friends or relatives. We imagine it must also be a wonderful base in the summer months - something for us to think about for the future?

This is a spacious, modern, well equipped chalet, that is very conveiniantly located for the ammenities of Briancon (Markets, shops, bakeries, restaurants etc) as well as being close to riverside walks and access to the mountains. It also has stunning views out over the old city, especially at night when the cathederal and old town are all lit up.

On top of all of this your host, Gilles, is very friendly and welcoming and on hand to help when needed without being intrusive.

In short the combination of chalet, location and host was ideal for our family holiday, walking, climbing and relaxing in the mountains and the city, and we have no hesitation in recommending it to others.

We (three couples) stayed in the villa over New Year 2013/14. It was all we could have asked for - very spacious, superbly appointed, in a great location and Gilles and his family were very friendly. Highly recommended.
